Ruffie’s full name is actually:
Chrystalships Ruff’n’Ready, so short version is Ruffian, Ruffie, Ruff, Ruff-o-matic, Ruffster, you KNOW how many nicknames we wind up with for each dog, right?

But the thing is, he was named that by the only other person that did agility at my workplace at that time, and she had won the AKC nationals at one point, so I thought it would be good luck if SHE came up with a name. And she did, and Ruffie also has won a different nationals THIS year! So you see, it worked!

Thanks for ALL the nice comments, folks. I go to Sheltienation.com when I need a pick me up, and it NEVER fails to do that for me! (Besides looking at my sweet dogs of course. :-) )

What beauties both of these babies are. Carmen is laughing, knowing that Ruffle’s has to give up some of the goodies. Don’t worry Ruffle’s, Carmen’s birthday will be coming at some point and pay backs are a real bite in the ha-ha! Barbara, do you spend all your time grooming, both coats are gorgeous?
